    A different type of post....will we get new brutalities?

    A different type of post for a change. I REALLY REALLY hope 'follow-up exam' and 'history lesson' (df2 & db2) get brutalities. I can just imagine Geras teleporting to the other slide and instead of doing a clothesline..... grabbing them by the throat from mid-air, pulling their head off, and...

    4 months later, Baraka's B3 is still stupid

    Can you provide a reference for where this was said because I think you're arguing with yourself at this point LOOOOL!

    4 months later, Baraka's B3 is still stupid

    NRS MK Titles in order: MK9 MK1 MKX MK11 Lots of things killing MK1, of which Baraka's b3 is one of them. Johnny is an issue because he gets in for free, any 50:50s with lao-hat are stupid because they dont come with any risk. Listen to Tom Brady's vids, he sums up the status quo really well.

    What Happened, NRS?!

    Perhaps at this stage they should just start remastering the older titles.....

    4 months later, Baraka's B3 is still stupid

    I actually really like MK1, second only to MK9. My point is that all this stupid stuff is what will reduce the game’s life, people will get frustrated with it quickly - and that’s happening right now. What makes it worse is the current lack of communication, bugs all over the place and...

    4 months later, Baraka's B3 is still stupid

    I agree with the OP on this one. Why does his b3 hit twice? Seriously, who decided that. Just because 'people figured it out' doesn't make it any less stupid. In my view, a lot of people are dropping this game because of how much 'stupid' stuff there is. Giving each character something 'stupid'...

    Geras General Discussion

    So my view is that Geras lives and dies by the hourglass. It is his win condition as he can rewind time, and makes the opponent think twice before using a projectile (threat of snap). Based on this here is my view on 3 matchups I find difficult (Johnny cage excluded as he is brokenly...

    Any Tips for the Kung Lao Tele

    It should all be sequential. here: f2, b, f, 1 …..……....^ f2, b, f, 1, hold Kameo If that doesn’t work for you, then hold kameo at the same time that you press 1. Another good tip is to adjust your timing based on what you see on screen. If Lao grabs Geras before the time freeze has come...

    Any Tips for the Kung Lao Tele

    You have to dial it all in fast…..very fast. I do it as fast as I can to get it to work. There is an alternative, which is to dial in b1f1 tele, instead of f2 bf1 tele. Timing is easier however it only works for the first tele in the combo, it drops for the second. keep practicing as the input...

    Investigating Optimals After Thanos Snap

    HOPE THIS HELPS! TLDR; Assuming in most cases you will need to recharge your hourglass: Airborne opponent: db3ex, fj4, f2, bf1xxteleport, j4, db4, f2, bf1xxteleport, j4, db4, f2, db2/df2 = 301.00 Grounded opponent: b12, db3ex, 2, f24xxteleport, j4, db4, f2, bf1xxteleport, j4, db4, f2, db2/df2...

    MK1 December 14th 2023 Update Patch Notes

    Omg this!!! This is infuriating. Might dm Tyler and ask lol How was it on MK11? I just completely missed that game I hated it that much.

    MK1 December 14th 2023 Update Patch Notes

    I don’t really play kasual. The suggestion from me was to hide it just for me though, so I don’t see it on my side.

    MK1 December 14th 2023 Update Patch Notes

    One reason I find this game infuriating sometimes is that I’m always concerned about my win/loss ratio. It literally stares me in the face EVERY time I play online. Has NRS ever implemented an option in the settings like “Hide Win/Loss Numbers”?

    MK1 December 14th 2023 Update Patch Notes

    Completely agree, its a good point. I would really love it if NRS would engage with the community more, where we could actually get responses to these kinds of questions...like "what is your logic for giving Quan and Nitara 600". We don't all have to agree, but at least they engage with us that way.

    MK1 December 14th 2023 Update Patch Notes

    I find this entire health variance concept really strange. How are they making these decisions? Are they using this mechanic to achieve balance? So Jonny with Lao (950) vs Quan with Sub (950) is a 'balanced' match? Also, matching up Geras with Motaro (900) vs Havik with Jax (1200), is literally...

    MK1 Combo Trials General Discussion

    I did them this morning and I agree, really awkward. I found the one where you have to use 2 ex skulls the hardest but overall it was mid-level difficulty. Was hoping for T9s tbh
